ADOPTED sons of God.

"The Christ" was the FIRSTBORN among MANY... brethren/brothers.

We are supposed to be SONS of Abba FATHER (God was MASTER to the Jews, but we are SONS of our heavenly FATHER (if you so desire).....SONS of FATHER are BROTHERS of the son that was BEGOTTEN (offsping).


Rom 8:29
For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the first-born among MANY brethren.

Virtually all worshipers glory in being slaves/servants of a MASTER that is who Revelation was written to/for, but we are NOT slaves/servants of God, we are SONS of the most high (ADOPTED SONS of God).


Rom 8:23 and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies

Gal 4:5 to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.

Psa 82:6
I say, "You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you;


Luk 6:35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the selfish.

So you want to "pray"?.
In other words you are not satisfied with what The Lord has decided to give other people and you wish to change His decision (better let HIM be the decider of what other people get).

BE "selfish" and only be concerned with what He has given YOU (He gave it to you GRACIOUSLY expecting nothing in return....He didn't give it to you IMPERIALISTICALLY).

There is no need to show GRATITUDE to your FATHER, just let His GRACE be sufficient for you instead of being greedy and asking for MORE...The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not WANT.

All verses are from the RSV.
Deu 32:8
When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of men, he fixed the bounds of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.
